File:Relative human population density with respect to Mean Annual Temperature (MAT).webp

English: "Reconstructions from ref. 14. for a. 300 BP, 500 BP (population data from HYDE database), and b. 6000 BP with population data from ArchaeoGlobe (AG) or HYDE, compared to the 1960-1990 climate (~0.3 °C above pre-industrial) with 2015 population distribution (‘Old reference’, from ref. 14) or 1980 population distribution (‘1980’, used here; as in Fig. 1a), and the smooth fitted functions for the temperature niche used previously14 (‘Old fitted’) and here (‘1980 fitted’; as in Fig. 1a) for future projections. Data presented as mean values with the shaded regions corresponding to 5-95th percentiles. Truncation of the historical reconstructions at higher temperatures is due to excluding bins of data with too few points in them to avoid outlier effects (see ref. 14)."
